BOMBINED STUD AND SCARF HOLDER.

$PECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 659,859, dated October 16, 1900. Application filed August 11, 1899. Renewed August 1, 1900. Serial No. 25,590. (No model.)

To (6 whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHANNES PANCKE, merchant, of 80 Warschauerstrasse, Berlin,

Germany, have invented an Improved Com ascertained in and by the following statement.

The present invention consists of an improved combined collar-button and scarf-.

holder which is designed to obviate the disadvantages hitherto accruing from the employment of the usual hooks or holders for the scarf or necktie.

Hitherto the neckband or scarf when confined at all has generally been held in position on the collar by means of a hook having for the time a practically-rigid connection with the collar or button, or ithas been clamped to the collar or held by some other means equally preventing the free movement of the band for positioning-a movement that is absolutely necessary in'the case of knotties, which must be arranged by the wearer each time they are put on or tied. The hook devices spoil the collar to a certain extent and render it necessary to handle the scarf or neckband a good deal while arranging the tie, thus often soiling the latter.

According to the presentinvention the button is combined with a holder for the scarfband, which while keeping the latterin place allows free in ovement of the band around the collar. The parts of the stud are arranged so that they may be easily inserted in the collar-holes.

In order to render the present specification easily intelligible, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference denote similar parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the button and accessory devices, showing the scarfholder partly open; Fig. 2, a front elevation, somewhat in perspective, showing the holder still farther open and in position to insert the scarf-band, it being understood that both in this and in the preceding figure the right hand of the view is supposed to be the top of The button or head a of the device is provided with a fixed stem Z), having its forward end somewhat narrowed, as at d. A bow e is hinged to the end of the narrowed extension, as at d, While a downwardly-extending bow f, having bend h and parallel bow g, is hinged to the button stem at the point of junction of the narrow extension with the stem proper. The bow is capable of movement on its pivot to the extent of one hundred and eighty degrees, while the bow or loop fg maybe turned upwardly on its pivot ninety degrees, so as to be brought into line with the stem, as shown at Fig. 3.

The device is manipulated in the following manner: The bows e, f, and game first turned into the position shown at Fig. 3, and the stem of the button is inserted through the buttonholes of the collar of the shirt and the collar proper. The bows f g are then turned downwardly, as shown at Fig. 2, and the bow e turned up ninetydegrees. The scarf-band is nowlaid in the bend hand the bowe turned down one hundred and eighty degrees, so as to retain the scarf inclosed in the space inclosed by the bows e, f, and g. Thus it will be seen that the scarf-band is free to move around the collar, but is prevented rising up on the collar.

Spring-catch stops of the well-known class may be employed in connection with the bows to retain the same in the stop or half-stop position, or the friction of the parts may be sufficient for the purpose. The particular kind of arrangement of the hinges for the purpose specified is immaterial, the combination of the parts to inclose the scarf-band being the main feature of the invention. The combined button and scarf-holder may be made of any material suited for the purpose.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and I declare that what I claim is- 1. The combination with a collar-button, of a bent and recurved bail 0r bow hinged to its stem, and a shorter bail or how also hinged to said stem, both bails being adapted to be brought into line with said stem for insertion through the buttonhoie, and the shorter bail to be closed down toward the return-bend of the other to confine the scarf.

2. The combination with a collar-button, of a bail 0r bow hinged to its stem to swing through an arc of ninety degrees and having a return-bend at its free end, and a second and shorter bail or bow also hinged to said stem to swing through an arc of one hundred and eighty degrees and past the other, said second bail being adapted to fold toward the
